  1. Well, for small spots of mold I have found that hydrogen peroxide in a spray bottle, or a bleach and water solution (mix 1:1) in a spray bottle are very helpful. However if it is a large amount, you may want to consult a professional. Good luck!!!
  2. Well as for removing the mold the best thing to do is get a bucket of hot water, a mop and some bleach. If you have a bucket with two or three liters of water then put about a cup of bleach and rub down the walls with your mop. That should get rid of all the mold. As for sealing the wall I'm not sure. You could go to your local home depot or hardware store and ask them. They might have some products for sealing basement walls or recommend you to seek help from a professional. Good luck.
  3. If it is a cement wall, use half and half bleach and water in a spray bottle and spray the mold. you may have to do it a few times and that will kill it and it will go away. if you have drywall, cut the drywall out where the mold is and patch it back up. Hope this helps
  4. bleach and water until all traces of the mold are gone and thoroughly dry then use a good primer/sealer some contain a mildewX additive that will keep any mold from coming back that would be your best choice.
  5. the safest way? Hire someone else?
  6. just take the drywall out and replace it. thats the easiest way really
  7. I just wanted to add that if you are going to try and remove it yourself cover your mouth and nose with a mask or hankerchief while you work that way you don't breath in the bleach fumes or mold spores, be safe okay. I have used clorox wipes on my porch wall and that seemed to help but I think the water / bleach solution sounds good too.
